Hi Bojan,

This link is not working for me either for allowing me to add Client Testimonials from LinkedIn. This seems like a wide-spread issue. Can you assist? URL I attempted to use was in format: https://www.linkedin.com/in/personname. It was as requested and did not work.

[#12]

I am trying to send a testimonial request, but the LinkedIn profile field will not accept the link. Please advise.

Hi Bojan, 

thanks for the update but is there a workaround solution for now? are you guys able to manually whitelist / verify the linkedin urls? this is blocking me from creating testimonial requests which i need urgently to ensure my profile is well positioned before i send out my proposals 

Sincerely,

Sheng

Any suggestions what to do if my client doesn't HAVE a LinkedIn profile?

[#22]

Hi Sarah,

At this time, this feature is only available for users who have a LinkedIn account.

[#23]

Hi,
are you saying we can't request Testamonials, unless the person has a LinkedIN account?  This is far from ideal if it is the case.  So many people and clients don't have LinkedIN accounts.

Looking forward to a prompt reply.

Kind regards,

Kerry

This is correct. You can only request a testimonial from clients who have an established LinkedIn profile

Hello,

 I faced same 'Invlaid linkedin Profile' error. It was fixed by typing in url, manually instead of pasting it in field. In fact the validation error vanishes when I type first part of url.

I hope it will help.

I'm having the same issue here. I realized that when the linkedin link is from a user it works, but when it's from a company it doesn't. Please help.
